yay for G4s & pony friends! :)

[sarafina]

I grew up with G1s, collected G2s when they came out, bought a few G3s, and then stopped collecting altogether.  I honestly wasn't a fan of G4s when I first saw them...I felt like they were stylistically too far away from the ponies I grew up with.


But I'm fortunate to have a good pony-collecting friend in the area (we chatted on the Arena and the Kenner LPS forum and then discovered that we lived in the same rural town, lol!) who has turned me into a G4 fan!  I never thought it would happen!   Katgyrl showed me a few FiM episodes, which I ended up loving...and then we went on a pony-hunt to several stores, where I ended up getting my first G4 singles: Rainbow Dash & Honeybuzz!  I LOVE Honeybuzz's mane & tail colors...they're so subtle & pretty.  We also stopped by McDonalds to get some Happy Meal ponies...it was a perfectly pony day!  Now I keep checking the pony aisle when I go shopping and have managed to expand the herd a bit.


Here's a pic of my new G4s - still with box-hair - hanging out with a few G3s (I put a few ponies out for display on our bookshelves and rotate them periodically).  My husband has thankfully been supportive of my new addiction and even watched a few FiM episodes with me!

Congrats! They are little Cuties.  I didn't even know they existed until my boyfriend's mom got me some for Christmas and then I was hooked!  my herd has grown alot in the last few months. Haha.

Congrats on collecting again and your new ponies! 


Something very similar happened to me, I stopped collecting mid-G3. I happened upon the G3.5 once at Walmart and thought they were just creepy looking so I thought I had stopped collecting for good but then one day out of the blue I decided to give FiM a try and here I am today collecting again    I actually think it made it a bit more fun to stop collecting and then get back into again, it's like rediscovering this whole thing all over again

Your G4 Bumblesweet is adorable!

Haha  I am slowly but surely beginning to get used to the G4s.  Bought my first one today.  Feathermay.    It would have been Rainbow Dash, but all they had was a bigger pack, and that annoying looking set with the huge freaking wings.     At the toy store I was talking to a couple of little kids--both boys--who had toys from something I don't recognize.  lol  When he asked what I got, I showed him: a ThunderCats figure and a My Little Pony.  He gave me a really weird look and said "Uhhh..."  He had no idea what to say.    The younger one didn't blink.

I blame you all for posting awesome G4 pics!  D:  ; )

Great pic of your G4's! I'm currently completely addicted to that generation. Their so.. precious! Them and my G2's are my favorite ponies <3

[BrightSide]

That's such a sweet pic! Honeybuzz looks so lovely..

I have to admit to being the opposite way around: I *adore* G4s, but I really can't get into the earlier generations! My heart is with FiM
